During the Premier League derby between Tottenham and Arsenal, a home fan tried to cross the line. As Declan Rice approached the corner flag to take a corner kick at Tottenham Stadium, a picture of his wife was shown on his mobile phone from the stands.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Ugly gesture. One of the portraits left behind. And, fortunately, Rice himself didn&#8217;t realize it either. The midfielder had just stepped in for Kolo Muani&#8217;s equalizer. he went about his work. Constant presence and active participation for 90 minutes in the London derby (1 win, 4 losses). Arsenal and Rice were unstoppable.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time the England player has had an episode like this, and it&#8217;s always related to his wife Lauren Fryer&#8217;s appearance. In April, he publicly denounced the harassment his family was experiencing on social media. &#8220;My wife is the love of my life and there is no one else for me,&#8221; he said at the time.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The pressure was so great that the child&#8217;s mother, Lauren, closed her social media accounts. Jamie Vardy&#8217;s wife Rebecca Vardy defended her, saying: &#8220;What they did to Lauren Fryer was absolutely terrible. Unfortunately it&#8217;s so easy to hide behind a keyboard these days.&#8221;<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Virus infection situation<\/h2>\n<p>While this gesture was discussed outside, Rice continued to compete. After the match, he was seen smiling and congratulating Guqueres on his 100th appearance for Arsenal. Defoe noticed his reaction during the match, saying: &#8220;I saw him try to cheer up the crowd and encourage everyone to stay focused before he made a mistake on goal. The difficult thing in football is to make sure you follow your own advice.&#8221;<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Mikel Arteta spoke further about the midfielder. &#8220;When you talk about attitude, what Declan did today&#8230;he can make mistakes, but the way he plays after that&#8230;that&#8217;s attitude. It&#8217;s character, it&#8217;s courage, it&#8217;s knowing how to stand up in difficult moments.&#8221;And as the stands showed their phones, Rice showed character on the pitch.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/arsenal\/2026\/02\/23\/699c352346163ffa1c8b45b0.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>England woke up and pointed the finger at himself.
